Posting from the Misc Pictures thread I think the article was talking about giving them some field experience in J&K etc. Not permanent duty. Experience has to be built up somewhere. And despite western notions of difference between Army Special Forces and City SWAT teams, in India the situation...

Vivek, I'll reply in the C.T and COIN thread
Last O.T. Apologies to the mods

atreya

The India Today article is way too ridiculous. Use the Force One for anti Naxal duty? Patrol in J&K or N.E? It was created as a SWAT team and a QRT team, that is where it's skills lie. They would be demanding that Force One should replace the Army in border areas, next.

@ ^^...looks like an M4 to me.
Edited later: Bala beat me to it

Oh! Thank you. I guess the eye wear is to protect him from the spent cartridges popping out from the gun

In the Kupwara encounter pics, what is written on Bren guy's helmet? Something 'Safex', I think (2nd pic)

AS Puar ji
Go through the QuickClot donation thread. There is a separate thread concluding the whole thing, I think. You'll understand why BRFites are not exactly enamoured with Bhavesh Bhatt when you read it.

Pigs stink and I guess the Army sniffed them from afar

atreya

Thanks a lot shiv. I now know what to spot. I am now having 2nd thoughts, actually. It might have been a Jaguar, LCA or Hawk. One of these 3. It is pretty hard to spot the wing though,, when it flying across in front of your eyes. I focused on the nose and the overall shape of the aircraft. Honestly...

This is getting better and better! I want the Paki ship sunk, of course!
On second thoughts, its up to you. I trust you to come up with something great!

atreya

For the first time today, I saw a fighter aircraft flying in Bengaluru. I am new here, and over the past month, I heard the thundering, but have never been able to spot any aircraft. Today, I realized the truth in what Shiv said at the beginning of this thread. Aircraft recognition is a skill, devel...

Are you sure the Americans have a Gorkha regiment? I don't think so. Singapore has, and of course, the British Army

atreya

You are right Singha ji. He is a Taj employee serving as a guide. Brave souls walking headlong into danger.

Aren't they already deployed there? This link, dated 29th April, 2010 says so

GRP to be scrapped?

Yes, the BSF had bought hovercraft, but I remember reading a report which said that those hovercraft were not suitable for the job, since the area was too marshy

Pics from the SEAL raid in Abbotabad. No pic of bin Laden here, though

atreya

Aaryan, just to confirm, it wasn't the regular SEALs who did the operation, it was Seal Team 6 or DEVGRU (correct me if I am wrong). They are Tier 1 spec op forces in the USA, along with Delta Force. Tier 1 means black operations, where the govt denies everything in case things go 'bamf'. As Tier 1,...

News reports are saying that India is on 'red alert'

No PIK-CHAARS?? When do they display the pig's body?

atreya

Are they Para Commandos or MARCOS?

atreya

The nation should not be held to ransom, only when there is no other option left! If the 'expendable people' theory is applied at the first go itself, then things will get worse with every situation. Firefighters, policemen, the defence forces- should we dissolve them all because lives are expendabl...

atreya

Brando, pause for a minute and look at what YOU suggesting? That you leave 15 Indians there because they are expendable? That would be awesome, right? Terrorist all around the world will have a field day. "Indians are expendable, we can kill as many as we like". Everytime there is a multin...

atreya

This is not the time for emotional rhetoric and I'd rather go and console these families than have to console a hundred more families for not having the courage to do what we should do today and NOT negotiate with terrorists and pirates. Since you are so concerned about the future, when hundreds of...

atreya

In the larger picture it would be safer to sacrifice a few Indians today, so that this kind of tactic doesn't become common place in the future. The audacity of asking of an "Echange" is absolutely shocking considering that the Somalis are engaging in a criminal activity. One thing is for...

@ ^^
What about it?

atreya

Is it simply a black painted INSAS or is it the Excalibur variant? I guess the latter was rejected by the Army

atreya

That sniffer dog team. The camo pattern seems to be like that of BSF, than CRPF.

If the digital camo guys are Punjab Police SWAT, who are the blue uniformed guys then? And the black uniformed policemen in the last pic?

And 3rd question. Who are the RAB?

atreya

atreya

MSMC and Zittara, yes. But MINSAS was rejected by the Army, IIRC

atreya

That is sooo funny!

But seems to be a prank of some kind on the mortar guys. The cameraman is laughing like a maniac, and he isn't running either!

atreya

Are they CISF jawans or commandos? AFAIK, the CISF commando unit is called Black Panthers and they are in charge of VIP security now.

India completes basic trainer trials

Isn't the Pilatus PC-7 outdated? Its a 1970s aircraft, to be replaced with PC 21, I think

atreya

It looks pretty well used. Wonder where it was used and whether it sustained any attacks. When was this vehicle ordered?

atreya

Yes, you are right, but I have usually seen two magazines taped together. In these two pics, posted by Hiten in Misc Pics thread, one can clearly see that there is some sort of slot in the gun itself for a 2nd magazine. Am I right? http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22051036/2011.02.25_NSG_Commando_www.aame.in...
